Saxenda

Do you want to lose weight in a medically responsible way? Saxenda is a prescription medication that can help with sustainable weight loss, in combination with lifestyle guidance.

At Xavier Clinics we offer Saxenda as part of a medically supervised weight loss program, where safety, monitoring and personal guidance are central.

What is Saxenda?

Saxenda is an injectable medication with the active substance liraglutide. It belongs to the group of GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Saxenda:

  • Reduces the feeling of hunger

  • Provides a faster feeling of satiety

  • Helps to reduce portion size

  • Supports weight loss

The medication is injected subcutaneously daily using an easy-to-use pen.

Who is Saxenda suitable for?

Saxenda may be suitable for:

  • People who are overweight (BMI ≥ 27) with additional risk factors

  • People with obesity (BMI ≥ 30)

  • Clients for whom lifestyle measures alone have insufficient effect

  • Medical support for weight loss

During a comprehensive consultation, we will assess whether Saxenda is safe and appropriate for your situation.

Consultation with the doctor

Before all treatments, a consultation is scheduled. During this consultation, the doctor will listen to your wishes and explore the options available to achieve them. The doctor will thoroughly inform you about the pre- and aftercare, the expected results, any risks, and the recovery process for the chosen treatment.

The treatment

Once you've chosen to undergo treatment with us, we'll ask you to complete a medical questionnaire and sign a treatment agreement beforehand. If you take a lot of medication, please bring your medication list to your appointment.

Photos will be taken of you both before and after the treatment for your medical records. In some cases, the skin is locally anesthetized with a numbing cream or anesthetic solution before the treatment.

Aftercare

After the treatment, you will receive an aftercare form by email. You do not need to stay at the clinic and can go home immediately. It is common for the skin to be red and swollen after the treatment, and sometimes some bruising may occur. These side effects will disappear on their own. It is important that you cool the treated area well with the cool pack you received, if advised. If you experience severe bruising, we recommend applying Arnica cream to the treated area.

It is recommended that you avoid applying makeup to the treated areas for the first four hours after treatment. Exposure to intense heat (sun, sauna, or tanning bed) is also discouraged for one week after treatment. We advise against having a facial for two weeks after treatment. You can assess the final result after two weeks.

If you have any questions about your recovery, please feel free to contact us.

Risks

The risk of complications is very small. As with any procedure, there is a small risk of infection or allergy.
